point before the start of the event has changed
to the Hyatt Place. The new hotel is located in
the heart of downtown Champaign and is only a 0.3

We now allow trikes (any bicycle with three or
more wheels) to participate in our events. However,
all participants riding trikes must provide their
own on road support for them at all times because
we cannot guarantee that we will be able to easily
or quickly transport them off the road in any support
vehicle in case of mechanical breakdown. In addition,
we still cannot accomodate any trikes on any of
our transportation services. Click
